Good question. As somebody who had their own 9.10 install up until a few days ago, I think there's still call to support it, as your example question shows: people still have problems. And while I a …

I agree and would be tempted to expand the plea to: Look at what you're doing when you're reviewing things! We've seen a few dodgy closes and attempted-closes slip through since the review system came …

Well I'm reversing those decisions because yes, development is very much on-topic here. To be clear these two examples are borderline generic (there's little to do with Ubuntu here) and I'd welcome pe …

There's certainly no question about propriety. If your question should be closed, it probably should be closed. But there are a few options: Delete. If you completely messed up and your question was …

People trying to scramble onto a supported release should be given all the help we can muster. We shouldn't be closing them (as OT-EOL) The parenthesis there is just to indicate that they could still …

Let's consider the following statements: Bugs that aren't reported are unlikely to be fixed Developers aren't checking Ask Ubuntu for bug reports You're talking as if Launchpad and Ask Ubuntu users …

If you still want to know the answer to something to a valid question and can maintain the question (keep up with comments/edits), there's no reason to close the question. In my opinion this isn't a …

It does occasionally matter though... Even if it doesn't in this case. The people initially involved in the question might not know or appreciate the finer details of what's going on. Networking stack …

You had me sold by the third paragraph :) I've reopened it. I'm not saying: Woohaa! Let's handle feature requests! I need to be clear on that. We don't. This particular question isn't really a feature …

Yeah. It's not just about syncing Android - it's about syncing Android with Ubuntu. I'll push an edit to make that clearer.

You could always flag it and let the 10ks and moderators make the call. But you're already weighing up the right questions. Here's the full spectrum: Could it still be useful to somebody else? If it …

Firstly, separate the closure from the tag. They aren't the same thing, they didn't happen at the same time. Again, tagging something as status-norepro does not close it. The closure came from other p …

I generally agree. That Mir/Surfaceflinger question was awful before it was edited but there was a valid way of asking roughly the same question to get roughly the same answers that was on-topic. Whe …

Reopened, per my comment on Braiam's answer: It's not asking for statistics, it's (as of 23 hours ago) asking if there are mechanisms for tracking how many downloads there have been. I agree that …
